8UB.C0MMITTEE8 REPORT,

H. L. Coburn fleeted to Finance Com-
mission — Meetings to Be Held

Every Two Weeks.

The regular meeting of the Insti-
tute Committee was held yesterday
afternoon at 4.30 P. M., in Room A, in
the Union. President D. R. Stevens
announced that all meetings here-
after would be convened at 4.30
o’clock sharp, and requested that all
members appear on tipie. After the
roll had been called the minutes of
the last meeting were read and ac-
cepted. Reports were read and ac-
cepted from the Point System Com-
mittee, the Calendar Committee and
the Bulletin Board Comihittee.

Nominations for the Finance Com-
mission were called for, and as no
more names were submitted the
Pr^ddent asked for a discussion on
those men already nominated. Mr.
M. L. Coburn, 1890, who Is. a member
of the Stttdent Welfare Committee,
and is chief engineer and secretary of
the Ambursen Hydraulic Company,
was selected to serve on the Finance
Commission with Mr. M. R. Scharff
and Mr. Litchfield.

Nominations for the Executive
Committee were then opened, and the
following names were added: J. E.
Whlttlesy, W. O. Foster, K. Barr and

I. W. Wilson. These men and those
nominated last week — ^L. C. Cooley,
R. H. Ranger, C. H. Carpenter, J, C.
Puller and H. C. Davis — were dis-
cussed In regard to their capabilities
as members of the Executive Com-
mittee, and then W. W. Warner
moved that Chur members be elected
to that committee, andi that if any ot
those elected resigned, the man hav-
ing the next highest number of votes
take 1^ place.

This motion was passed, and then

J. C. Puller made a motion to the
effect- that since it had been tacitly
agre^ among the members that at
least one Executive Committee man
be a Junior, and that only one 1912
man had been nominated, it was only
fair that the nominations be reopened
so that more 1912 names might be
submitted. The motion being re-
ceived in the aflSrmative, H, M. Part-
ridge and H. A. Babcock were accord-
ingly nominated. Ballots were then
distributed, and after a shprt. time it
was announced that I. W. Wilson;, B.
H. Ranger, J, E. Whittlesy and L. C.
CkxRey had been elected to the Execu-
tive QOKEHPOyUtoe.

A letter from Major teriggs was
read, in which he suggested that as
fencing and golf were dead letters
at the Institute, they be taken off the
Institute rating; and the crew be sub-
stiniisd ki th«r place. This matter
was discussed, but nothing was de-
cided upon In regard to it.

A motion passed that M. R.
Scharff, the PrOslttent’s assistant, be
invited to attend the Eseetings of the
Institute Committee, and it was also
decided to allow the Uni<m Commit-
tee to send one of their members as
their representative to the Institute
Committee.

The members of the Institute Com- j
mittee^^re rdohested to do-operate
with the Calendar and Bulletin Board
Committees, so that the business of
these comnaittees might run more
smoQthlp.

Regular meetings are to h® held
every other Tuesday at 4,30 P. M., in
Room A, Union.

Students and Professors from all Departments Have Joint

Dinner.

LecifeLires on Earthquakes and Engineering Given by Profs.

Jagger and Spofford.

Two hundred men sat down to the
combined societies’ dinner at the Union
last night. The men were seated so
as to divide the various courses as
much as possible, and the custom of
seating the members of the Faculty at
the head table was departed from, they
being scattered promiscuously about
the room. Those present from the
Faculty were Dean Burton, Profs,
•laggar, Spofford, Allen, Porter, Rob-
bins, Hosmer, Breed, Russell, Talbot,
Thorpe, Jackson, Lawrence, Smith and
Mr. Bradbury. The full Technology
Orchestra ma&e Its hrst public appear-
ance and added much to the enjoyment
of the dinner by Its fine work. They
played selections from the “Red Mill,”
“The Chocolate Soldier,’’ and “The
Bohemian Girl,” and did remarkably
well for an organization having had
so short a time to prepare for this
engagement.

PROF. T, A. JAGGER

President Hausman of the Civil En-
gineering Society introduced Professor
Jaggar as the first speaker immediate-
ly after adjourning to the social room.
He began by giving an outline of the
geographical conditions of the Central
American country and its surround-
ings. His function on this expedition
was, from a geographical standpoint,
to decide whet'e to put and where not
put inlportant plants, and where
large cities ought to be placed. The
main eruptions occurred April 13 and
May 4th of last year. Previous to that
time there had been no serious out-
breaks for about five years. About
January 26 the volcano Poaz started
the trouble, hurling a great quantity
of mild and other debris from its
cinder cone around the country Within
a radius of about fifteen miles. The
people became wary and were partially

5 ired when the tremendous quake
rred at Cartage a few months
later. The dwellings of the town were
mostly of the adobe type, with tiled
roof. These were for the greater
part destroyed and the streets filled
with adobe and fallen brick. The
wave was what the geologists would
call an “opifocal shock,” meaning that
the vertical element was predominant. |
This was shown by slides of various
towel's which had a great, yawning
crack up the entire height of the
column. That it came from the East
was shown from the fact that stones
thrown from a stone wall were hurled
from the West side into the road, while

those on the Bast side were thrown
the other way. The shock came al-
most Instantaneously, and was con-
fined to a relatively small limit. The
strength of the vertical wave was
.shown by the twisting distortion of a
certain statue, which was turned
through an angle of nearly 90 degrees.
The buildings in Cartage were con-
structed very weakly. It is now being
planned to have the city reconstructed
by some American construction com-
pany, the contractor to be paid In
treasury bonds which would be a
virtual first mortgage on the entire
town. In order to further study the
effect of earthquakes, the United States
department of agriculture is having
instruments installed for the anticipa-
tion of earthquake difflculties. Vari-
ous different sorts for the study of
these phenomena have been invented
recently by the Jesuits in the Philip-
pine Islands and by the Japanese, and
$25,000 has been given for geophysical
research in Hawaii next summer by
the Institute professors.

In continuation of Professor Jag-
gar’s talk. Professor Spofford spoke of
the engineering questions connected
with such disturbances of nature as
had been previously described.

The city of Cartage is situated about
ninety miles from each coast, at an
elevation of about seven hundred feet,
it was founded by the Spaniards many
years' ago, and before the earthquake
it had gained quite a reputation as a
summer resort in the Central Ameri-
can countries.

PROF. C. M. SPOFFORD

The severe rains and the almost
perpendicular slopes cause many land-
slides, which cover up the tracks of
the Northern Railroad of Costa Rica,
and it is only at a great expense that
the road is kept in operation.

The types Of buildings in existence
before the disaster showed only the
most elementary knowledge of earth-
quake resisting construction. The
builders did not imderstand that rigid-
ity was to be preferred to small
heights. The construction in San Jose
was much superior to that of Cartage.

The decreasing order of the amount
of construction of different kinds in
the ruined city was adobe, brick and
stone work, bahareque and wooden
frame buildings. This is exactly op-
posite to what should have been the
ease.

Squad Has Use of Boston
Arena for Practice
This Year.

MANY CANDIDATES AT MEETING.

Schedule Not Yet Announced But
Wifi include Best Teams in
East.

Hockey is booming this year. The
Athletic Association is supporting the
team financially, and the new Boston
Arena has been secured for team
practice. This affords unusual oppor-
tunities for systematic training.

First practice will be held at 6 P.
M. Friday, November 25. The time is
limited, which means promptness at
the start. A few stragglers would
waste valuable time for the whole
team.

Manager Polhemus has already
secured games with some of the best
eastern teams. But it is absolutely
essential that new men show up for
the team. Four of last year’s team
have left, which affords opportunities
for appointment to those who show
energy in the practices.

GLEE CLUB REHEARSAL

PROMISES RESULTS

Mid-Winter Concert and Dance
Tickets On Sale — Event
Takes Place Dec. i6.

Yesterday afternoon the Glee Club
held a rehearsal at the Union. Great
improvement was evidenced over pre-
vious work, and the club is working
hard to round out into style. The big
annual mid-winter concert is an added
incentive to the club in attaining per-
fection. This concert, which is one
of the big functions of the year, will
be given under the auspices of the
combined musical clubs of Technol-
ogy. It will consist of an entertain-
ment by the clubs and a dance. This
concert and dance will take place at
Copley Hall, Boston, on December 16,
1910. The tickets, which are a dollar
each, are on sale by the managers of
the clubs. Tickets for reserved seats
will be exchanged after November
27th, at the Technology Union. After
the Glee Club rehearsal the quartette
rehearsed their selections with much
effect. The enthusiasm with which
the men have been reporting for re-
hearsal and have been working is a
promise of great things musically at
the Institute.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1910.

All the Institute owes much to the
individuals of the Civil Engineering
Society who first conceived the idea
of a joint meeting, and to those of the
same society who so successfully car-
ried it out.

Editor of The Tech:

One of the most important commit-
tees which it is the duty of the Senior
class to elect is that of the Senior
Portfolio. The portfolio is the one
souvenir of a man’s Institute life
which he will hold dear after gradua
tion. On this committee there should
be at least one man who has had
definite business experiences, one
man of good artistic ability, and sev-
eral good persuaders. The persuad
ers must be men who will he willing
to keep on the job until the last man
in the class has had his picture taken,
made out his history, and signed up
for a book. It behooves all thinking
members of the class to get out nomi-
nation papers for capable men. Nomi
nations close at 4 P. M. today, at the
Cage.

TECHNIQUE MEETING YESTER-
DAY.

Class Picture Reported to Be Best in
Years — Fraternity Cut Contract
Awarded.

The Technique Board held its regu-
lar weekly meeting at 4.15 yesterday
afternoon in the Union. The various
departments submitted their reports
and discussion was then openbd on
engravers. The engraving contracts
will be awarded next week, and
specifications for the printer will be
out at that time. The fraternity cut
contract was awarded yesterday.
The class picture was reported to be
the best in many years, and proofs of
it will be posted in a couple of days
in Rogers and at the Union. The
members of the class are requested
to sign their names opposite the num-
ber which will represent their place
on the picture. This is very impor-
tant, and it is hoped that every man
will make it a point to see that his
name is placed where it should be on
the picture.

CLASS OF igi2

HAS PICTURE TAKEN

With thirty strong, the orchestra
made good with a vengeance at its
initial appearance at the big meeting.
The three pieces it gave showed a
solidity that will develop into a char-
acter of playing that will place this
new organization on the plane of the
best activities at the Institute.

Last night saw the latest develop-
ment for a better social relationship
between Faculty and student in the
combined societies’ dinner. More-
over, this is a move started by the
students. This is as it should be, for
It makes the students the hosts.

In many institutions, and in fact
not very far back at the Institute, it
was a case that Faculty and students
met only in the class room. Per-
haps this may lead to greater results
in the line of grinding out the details
of a particular line of engineering,
but it prevented the broad develop-
^ment that goes with the social asso-
ciations of men in the various
lines connected with the Institute.
Our professors are more than leaders
in special technical lines; they are
leaders in the activities of our com-
munities. Such gatherings as that of
last night bring out this other side
not only by means of the talks given
by those who have recently under-
taken important investigations, but
also by the more informal personal
contact at the dinner table and in the
living rooms between those who never
even meet in class rooms.

It would not be wise to run these
meetings into the ground by too fre-
quent repetition, but it does seem
that one each term would be worth
while, and they would serve as an in-
spiration for other less pretentious
arrangements throughout the year in
the way of the general club and ac-
tivity meetings. They may also lead
to an extension of the idea broached
last year of small informal gather-
ings at the homes of both students
and instructors at frequent intervals.

Owing to the bad condition of the
grass plots on the Yale campus, no
more footbalfl, baseball, or any other
form of exercise will be permitted by
the University police on the campus.

Many Men Gathered on Rogers
Steps for Picture for
Technique, 1912.

At 1 o’clock yesterday all roads for
the class of 1912 led to Rogers steps,
where a class picture was to be taken.
This is the picture which will appear
in Technique, 1912. The class was
well represented, and Mr. Nottman,
the photographer, has promised to
have the proofs ready at once. The
men will then be requested to identify
themselves on the picture so that no
mistake will be made in the Junior
year book. This is usually done by
numbering the heads in the picture
and having the student sign their
names opposite corresponding num-
bers on a sheet of paper provided for
the purpose.

Lafayette College is represented by
a semi-weekly paper. The Lafayette,

THE TECS, BOSTON, XA86., NOYEHBEB 23, 1910.

E. E. EXCURSION TO FORE RIVER.

Permission Has Been Granted to Visit
Large Construction Company.

The Electrical Engineering Society
has secured permission of the presi-
dent of the Fore River Construction
Company for the members of the so-
ciety to inspect their extensive plant
at Quincy, provided but 15 men came
in each party. The committee is ar-
ranging to run four excursions next
week, one on Monday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Fr!day. As the plant
shuts down at 4.30 P. M., it will be
found necessary to leave the South
Station on the 12.45 P. M. train. The
running time to Quincy is about 15
minutes, and it takes about 30 min-
utes to get to the works from the
station. The single fare is fifteen
cents, or twelve rides for $1.10. Al-
ready four men have signed to go on
Monday, the entire fifteen for
Wednesday and Friday, and twelve
for Thursday. In. order to complete
an angements all men intending to go
must sign up on the E. B. Society
bulletin board in the Lowell Building
before Monday morning, November
28.

TRACK DINNER POSTPONED.

The track team dinner which was
to have been held tonight has been
postponed indefinitely. So many of
the men are going to he away that
it has been thought advisable to hold
the dinner at a later date.

A formal call has been issued for
all track team candidates to report to
Coach Kanaly at the Gym. An excep-
tionally full and attractive indoor
schedule is nearing completion and
will be announced soon. These in-
door meets furnish fine opportunities
for both veterans and novices, both as
individuals and as members of relay
or class teams.

Knox College has a glee club of
thirty-two. A trip to the coast during
the Christmas holidays is contem-
plated.

At the University of Washington the
girls are also eligible to wear the
’Varsity “W” for excellence in various
branches of athletics.

High school pledging for fraterni-
ties has been prohibited at Seattle.

(Continued from Page 1.)

The adobe buildings, of course,
crumbled to pieces, no resistance being
offered by them. In the stone and
brick buildings, the binding material
was a sort of lime mortar. The struc- .
.tures were all massive ones, and were
very low, but they were not in the
least resistive to the disturbances
caused by an earthquake. The Car-
negie Peace Court — although an at- ,
tempt at reinforcing had been made —
was totally destroyed. The I beams, i
instead of helping to hold up the
building, really acted as a weapon of
destruction.

Bahareque is a native type of con-
struction which consists of a wooden
frame, across which strips of cane are
nailed, the whole then being filled
with adobe. Buildings thusly made
withstoood the shock fairly well.

The wooden buildings resisted the
earthquake best of all. This is due to
the fact that the qualities of tensile
resistance, elasticity and lightness
were all involved.

The water pipes suffered very little
damage. The reason for this was that
no fissures were formed in the ground
tending to tear the pipe apart.

At Kingston, all new buildings are
of reinforced concrete. In this way
protection against both earthquakes
and tornadoes is hoped for.

I The conclusions that Professor Spof-
! ford has drawn are as .ollows;

(1.) No building constructed of a
material of a low tensile resistance or
little elasticity is safe as a resistance
to earthquakes.

(2.) Stone work with lime mortar
is very bad.

(3.) Heavy tile roofs should be pro-
hibited.

(4.) Elasticity, continuity and light-
ness are essential characteristics of
earthquake resisting buildings.

(5.) Wooden frame buildings with
walls and partitions of metal laths,
either encased in cement or not, offer
the best resistance to earthquake
shocks.

The question as to vhether rein-
forced concrete is an earthquake re-
sisting type of construction has not
been settled. It is certain, however,
that the cracks would be difficult to
repair and that a large amount of steel
reinforcing would be necessary.

gations: Course I and XI, 107; Course
